"All the world's a lie, and all the men and women merely liars," so says Dorante, the charming young lawyer who can't open his mouth without telling another whopper. Dorante quickly sets his romantic sights on the beautiful Clarice, or maybe it's her best friend Lucrece. Which one is which? And which one is secretly engaged to his best friend? Falsehoods fly in this sparkling French comedy by Corneille, newly adapted by David Ives.
